Gives excellent feedback to ensure you're set up for success. The course was asynch so you could reference lectures whenever. Course was 20% response (submission/effort based) 50% Split between two essays (1250-1500 words) 30% Open Book/Note Final (~25 straightforward MCQ, 5 short FRQ about excerpts covered/read from works to explain it)

I loved the references he made in class to make the material more relatable! Had to buy 3 books, one about each philosopher, and read every day since we had to submit a discussion board about what we read. Had to write a paper which I enjoyed because we got to pick which of the 2 philosophers to compare & contrast. Test was writing based, not mcq.

I took Comp Lit 50 with him online (there wasn't a button for that). His lectures were very entertaining and he was reachable outside of class. I would recommend this class. It does have a lot of reading.

Lovett is very enthusiastic and super approachable. I took 2 of his comp lit classes and the reading is not too much, his lectures are very helpful and the grades for that class is based on 2 papers, weekly posts (150 words), and a final exam. I loved his classes.

Lovett was always excited to teach which was great for us. All classes were asynchronous which was nice because we could do it in our own time and always go back to it. Very available outside of class through email or zoom and even was willing to meet with me during winter quarter to go over the final paper grade.

Professor Lovett is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. I have taken him twice now and have had an extremely positive experience. He is accommodating and cares about his students. Although the lectures can be long, it's no different than any other class that would be in person. I would highly recommend him and his courses.

Professor Lovett's lectures can get a bit tiring due to the nature of the readings, but they really do help you get a better understanding of the philosophical works read in class. There is quite a lot of reading, which can take a while due to the older language used, but the readings are very interesting.

The readings are long, but Dustin helps to clarify them during lecture. There were two papers, a midterm, and a final, as well as easy, short weekly discussion posts. Paying attention in lecture helps a lot with the papers. He is very knowledgable and cares a lot about the subject matter.

Asking trick questions and refusing to engage with student interpretations that differ from his doesn’t make a tough, but rewarding, teacher. It makes a bad one. I can’t stress the irony of being dogmatic in a class about revolutionary thinkers enough. Don’t expect accommodations, extensions, or basic human understanding.

This class is a lot of work and reading. If you don't show up you will not do well. However, Dustin really cares about his students and goes out of his way to be accomodating, just be respectful. He's extremely knowledgeable, which makes him come off as pretentious at times... but he's really funny and caring once you build a rapport with him.

Took this for credit and general education requirements. Weekly forum reponses asked tricky and hard questions. Often suspecting students for plagrisms. Most importantly, time for mandatory attendance is disgusting. 3PM in afternoon might be fine for students back in states but sucked for us back in Asia, which is around 5 or 6 AM there.
